I need some alone time now…….
Sticker really brings it all together now, love it!
Just noticed, you have rear parking sensors?! Are those standard?
Yeah looked at that option but there isn’t enough space for a smoked oem Nissan burger badge and I tried 4/5 options on stickers etc etc.Get some silver tinted indicator bulbs ye egg yolk tramp Cant work out what i feel about that sticker. It was nice and clean in some ways prior, but also bare? Maybe just cause there's so much silver?
What about a smoked badge in addition to the sticker?
When you say about addressing the seats is it retrim or change?That’s dubshed over and I was pleasantly surprised when I got an indoor slot. @Gemma kindly let me join the NI JDM Legends stand and it was a great weekend.
Had a great few chats with a fella Trevor who was the detailer with Drift Games. Credit to @big_pete as he was amazed by the clarity and finish on the zeds paint. He was very surprised to hear it is my daily through March onwards.
He also was disapproving of D Egan and the teams washing techniques lol
Few photos now coming through, not sure what next stage it. The seats are something I’m planning to address but it’s the financial commitment that puts me off lol

Do itEither set of recaro pole positions or recaro sr3 confettis
It’s now at a fine balance as I enjoy the cars ability to daily and be relatively under the radar but also I feel for shows it needs an attention grabber, as as good as the finish is, and I’m very happy with the over all clean look, I’m just looking that little something extra for it. Suggestions really appreciated but FI isn’t an option this year lol
Its looking really good in those photos.
I don't see why you need to anything more. I don't think any changes you could make would make it better, attention grabbing isn't always a good thing.
you are both right, prob should have worded my initial post better, prob more along lines of finishing touches or unique touches, seats for example, as the oem seats aren't overly comfy etc.Don't feel like you have to give it more of a "wow" factor just for shows - shows are like 2-3 a year max if you are bothered? What grabs my attention to your car is how clean and simple it looks, nice and smooth and purposeful looking.
Personally wouldn't change a thing on the outside anyway.
On a second look, maybe debadge the side "Z's?"
The exhaust is your car's party piece mate!slight update more for my own records.
The ecu headed off recently to Horsham Developments in South England. They are widely considered the best for mapping the 350z's using the UpRev software.
Being the later models, my zed can take the multi map options, so have the performance map, valet mode and flame map added.
Whilst at it I also purchased the 8mm plenum spacer for the intake side of the v6 engine. The intake plenum is widely considered a bhp limiting factor on the VQ engine as the plenum isn't level across the top of the engine, so there rear of the engine/cylinders gets slightly more air capacity than the front (front oem strut brace is tight clearance wise)
The 8mm spacer levels everything and increased the air flow and capacity in the plenum. Map took my current mod's and spacer into consideration and also removed the factory throttle limiters in 1st & 2nd gear.
Feel wise the cars power delivery is certainly smoother across the range and id say the intake note sound more metallic and raw.
is it faster ? feels more urgent and livelier in the pick up, but honestly the spacer is accepted as a 10bhp mod if mapped and then the map itself, so maybe a 20-25bhp gain in total.
was pleased with the performance at the RMS run yesterday, seemed to outrun an e46 m3 and sat with some stuff I thought would have outran me.
everyone seems to find the exhaust hilarious and it makes me smile which is the important thing
even gave cough cough @Cooper a run ha ha.... (total lies, I got taught a lesson lol)
Car is running sweet as a nut and getting a full service and coolant flush this week to keep it this way.
Next job is the one everyone hates and im off rattle hunting. A small vibration behind the head unit has started at 2.5k and has been exaggerated by the non-flex'd Y pipe and titanium exhaust lol.
sorry for the essay, here's another photo from dubshed

@da.murf
How are the pops and bangs? Also are you still running the throttle controller?
My ECU is heading away this week for the same treatment, I can't do multi-map so pops will only come on above 4k for me.
thanks mate, the Noble was just something else running along the road. I was behind you at one point and purposely sat back as I looked at the width of those rear tires and though "if he lights this up, the front of my car is going through a sandblaster, but with rocks instead of sand" lolFantastic looking car and the noise out of it on Sunday was insane!
At one point on the run out to Larne I thought the Noble had picked up a bad vibration until I realiesed it was the sound of your car beside me causing the vibration
